Founder and Editor
Bilingual Kidspot was founded by Chontelle Bonfiglio, an Australian writer, educator and mum raising bilingual children.
With a background in teaching English as a second language, Chontelle has worked with children and families in different countries and has seen first-hand how naturally children can learn languages when they are exposed to them in meaningful ways.
Although she grew up speaking only English, Chontelle later learned Italian as an adult after moving overseas. This experience gave her a deep understanding of both the challenges of learning a language later in life, and the incredible value of giving children access to languages from a young age.
After living and working abroad for many years, she created Bilingual Kidspot to share practical advice, encouragement and real-life experiences with other families raising bilingual children.
Her goal is to inspire parents to keep going, even when the journey feels challenging, and to show that bilingualism looks different for every family.
Why Bilingualism Matters
Learning another language is about so much more than words.
It helps children connect with family, culture and community. It opens their minds to the world, builds confidence, and gives them opportunities to understand different people, places and ways of life.
Bilingual Kidspot believes that every child should have the chance to experience the benefits of learning another language, whether through family, school, travel, community or everyday moments at home.
